The Chief End

I want to give an offering

And to the greatest altar bring

A life of virtue, great success,

Some famous prayers that I confess.

And say to God it just was him

Who made the others seem so dim.

But as my dreams are torn to shreds

And all the hopes turn into dreads

I have to look for other ways

To share the love of heaven’s rays.

So what is left when life is done?

Forgiveness prayers just like his son.
